a 4' x 4' enclosure may be difficult to work with (4 feet of height will be wasted space but if you want a feeling of openess as an exhibit, then it would be okay as long as you provide plenty of floor cover. Floor space is indeed very important and 4 x 4 is ample space but could be difficult to manage unless you have special built in dividers (if you do, then this would work great). Otherwise, something like 6' x 3' would work very well. If you can build in a divider, that will make your life much easier in terms of servicing the cage.
